This week marks one year after the mass shooting that took place at Oxford High School. Teachers, family members, and student survivors continue to grapple with trauma, searching for a path toward some kind of healing.

The shooter’s parents are facing charges of involuntary manslaughter, but the trial actually has yet to proceed, with the Michigan Supreme Court issuing stays on both parents’ cases. 

Tresa Baldas has been following the story for the Detroit Free Press. She talked us through the reason for the delay, and what may happen to the defendants if the trial proceeds.

You can hear teachers, family members, and friends in conversation with each other about what life after the Oxford shooting has looked like. Find it here.
